Opinion of the Court

C. A. 2d Cir. Certiorari granted limited to Question 1 presented by petition which reads as follows:

“1. Do not the federal wagering tax statutes here involved violate the petitioner’s privilege against self-incrimination guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment?

S. 22 (1953) and Lewis v. United States, 348 U. S. 419 (1955)?”
